Woman Abducted From Bus Stop

May 25, 1986

Pompano Beach -- Five felony charges were leveled against a man who police said dragged his former girlfriend from a bus stop at gunpoint Monday and held her in his apartment for a day against her will.

Police said Homer Davis Jr., 26, of the 400 block of Northwest Seventh Avenue, was charged with false imprisonment, two counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Davis` ex-girlfriend was holding her 3-year-old child while standing at a bus stop with the child`s father and grandfather. Witnesses told police that Davis approached the bus stop, at 1000 NW Sixth Ave., and pulled a handgun from the waistband of his pants.

Davis said he had to talk to the woman and began dragging her away while he threatened the two men with the gun, police said. The grandfather convinced the man to leave the toddler with them, and Davis and the woman left.

On Tuesday, police received a call that the woman was being held captive in Davis` apartment. Officers went to the house, freed the woman and arrested Davis.
